Tyler90AZ Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I have seen members with tattoos. It is part of their life before joining the church and they do not get judged because of it. I even know, fairly well, a member of a bishopric who has a visible tattoo. It is not what you do before you know Christ, but what you do after.

IamMe Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Up until a few years ago, tattoos were permitted. As were more than one set of earrings, and earrings on men. I had multiple earrings, as well as tattoos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vort Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 What do you mean "up until a few years ago?"I wondered what she meant by "permitted". As far as I know, tattoos and multiple piercings don't keep you out of the temple or from performing other Priesthood ordinances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latota13 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 What if I decide to get a tattoo? I was born and raised a member of this Church. I served a mission and I'm married in the Temple. Im an active member and I really wanna get a tattoo. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy740 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 First, I think you should treat your body like a temple and not deface it. Second, "Thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think?I think it's a bad idea for an active Church member (or any Church member) to get a tattoo, unless there's a medical reason for doing so.

friedmann Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 In my humble opinion, you should not get a tattoo, just like you shouldn't spray graffiti at the Temple. There are very good reasons for our leaders taking the stand against tattoos and piercings for males. It is esstentially a way to permanently self-mutilate your body. This should, if possible, be avoided. Sorry for the strong choice of words but essentially this is what it is. It's a really bad idea to get a tattoo if you are an active member of the Church.
